When
I first published this "Critical Issues" web page
in 2007, I carefully crafted my verbiage to try to "ease
in" most readers to avoid overwhelming them with "conspiracy
theory," "doom and gloom," and "setting
the woods on fire" rhetoric. From the vantage point of
today (August 2011), I am hesitant to re-write this section,
because I still think that a large number of readers have
cognitive dissonance problems in adjusting to the full scale
of grim realities confronting America today. In addition,
all the trend forecasts have proven to be on target (tragically
enough). Therefore, I decided to leave this section alone
as "Snapshot 2007" for readers who still need to
get "eased in." For those who are ready for something
more up to date, with a higher octane rating, I have appended
"Snapshot
2011" which contains
urgent information regarding the continuing
Fukushima radiation threat and other catastrophes.

SNAPSHOT 2007

for "Snapshot 2011" which

A
Tale of Three Monsters—
and of Hope:

"Alien,"
"Predator,"
the "Monster from the Id,"
and Hope for
a Better Tomorrow

"Every great scientific
truth goes through three stages. First, people say it conflicts
with the Bible. Next, they say it has been discovered before.
Lastly, they say they have always believed it."

— Louis Agassiz (Swiss
naturalist, 1807-1873, attributed)

"In a time of universal deceit, telling
the truth is a revolutionary act"

— George Orwell

Like most Americans, I see ample signs that
America is seriously deteriorating, and want to understand the
root causes of our problems. One good jarring example is the article "State of the Revolution" published online 17 Feb 2008 by activist attorney Edgar J. Steele.

Like most Americans, I feel torn
between two competing impulses. One is to rise out of a sense
of citizenship duty to find more effective ways to help solve
the problems of our surrounding society, and the other is to
find better ways to lead a more normal, productive, and happier
personal life.

It may sound unusual to say "more normal,"
but the truth is that American society has become extremely
distorted on many different levels. I hold to cyclical theories
of history which claim that societies eventually re-balance
themselves according to long term norms. This is very similar
in concept to the stock market investment principle that in
the very long run, the free market always wins over government
intervention, and stocks return to reasonable valuations relative
to their true cash flow capabilities. The social version of
this re-balancing concept is explained in more detail in my
sections "Resolving
Opposing Ideologies" and "History
Reinterpreted."

Certainly current hot topics include Israel's
never-ending conflict with Palestinians, America's occupation
of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Bush Administration's threat
to nuke
Iran. They also include America's increasing competition
with China, India, and other emerging countries for natural
resources. However, there are deeper problems that have been
festering for decades that imperil America's ability to adapt
to change without suffering disastrous dislocations that I will
address here.

On a symbolic level, I summarize two of the
greatest underlying problems imperiling America as "Alien"
and "Predator." These terms were inspired, incidentally,
by a science fiction horror movie released in summer 2004, titled:
"Alien vs.
Predator." The subtitle was:: "Whoever Wins, We
Lose." How true, as we shall see.

"Predator" pertains to cancerous
growth of government, which has distorted our economy and is
strangling our civil liberties.

"Alien" describes the liberal-minority
coalition that has destroyed traditional American conservative
values. It has encouraged out of control Third World immigration
which is reducing white America into one more minority. The
liberal-minority coalition has substantial influence over both
national media and our social-activist government.

Then we have a third problem, which is internal to our own psyche.
I am reminded of Dr. Edward Morbius, protagonist of the science
fiction classic The
Forbidden Planet. He suffers a terrible war between
his conscious values and his subconscious instinctive urges,
known in Freudian parlance as "The Id."

Similarly, we live in a political-correctness,
walking-on-eggshells, multi-racial, multi-cultural society where
we experience sharp conflicts between artificial values promulgated
by our deceptive government and liberal national media and our
deepest instinctive values.

We are faced with a dilemma. In the long run,
we tend to pay a price for our ignorance and our delusions.
However, in the short run, when we tell the truth to the wrong
people at the wrong time, it might cost us our jobs and other
things we hold dear.

The good news is that the Internet is spreading
truth like wildfire. In the long run, I believe that this will
lead to healthier, more balanced societies. I also believe that
it is allowing us to become more fearless in the pursuit of
truth.

Here is a sampling of some deep underlying
issues that I believe are particularly important for us to start
thinking more deeply about at this time:

"Predator" out of control?

"Remember that a government
big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough
to take away everything you have."

Self-restrained
government? According to the late Dr. Murray
Rothbard, author of Conceived
in Liberty, during the American Revolutionary period
the majority of Americans agreed with the anti-Federalist
position that the Federal government must always be kept weaker
than state governments. How far we have come!

We have seen massive growth of government for decades. We
have also seen continual bait and switch ploys by self-styled
"conservatives." As one example, George Bush campaigned
with limited government, quasi-libertarian rhetoric in 2000,
only to bring us vast increases in Federal spending, perpetual
overseas war, and ominous new bureaucracies such as the Orwellian-sounding
"Department of Homeland Security."

Unfortunately the sheer size of government is both a "cause"
and an "effect."

Government growth is the effect
of certain special interest groups operating behind the scenes
that need the coercive power of the state to accomplish their
goals.

Government size is also caused by
the tendency of government to grow like a cancer on its own.
Government exploits its political monopoly power by continually
adding new programs regardless of the failures of prior programs.

Unfortunately government growth adds to its
monopoly power, creating a vicious circle. More people become
dependent on its payroll and its regulations. More people
view it as a father figure, some kind of benevolent protector,
or as a shamanistic repository of wisdom rather than as a
servant of the people or competitor for power. At the same
time, government growth squeezes out the independent entrepreneurial
sector that creates most of the real jobs, wealth, and innovation.
This is the sector that has the self-sufficient economic means
to offer independent criticism of government policies and
resistance to tyranny.

The government has engaged in interventions
that endanger our First Amendment freedom of expression for
many decades. For example, Federal laws that prohibit discrimination
by race, creed, or national origin in certain specific areas
involving employment and housing give many Americans the confused
idea that it is somehow illegal to publicly express ideas
that address racial, ethnic, or ideological differences. Not
surprisingly, certain owners of national media have encouraged
this false idea by demonizing pro-white activists who protest
illegal immigration and only wish the same right of self-determination
for fellow whites that their own taxes support for Jewish
self-determination in Israel.

The congruence between hypocritical national
media owners and government policy should not be a surprise,
since up until recently people who control national media
have been powerful enough to steer government. Hopefully the
rapid growth in the uncensored Internet will eventually correct
the tragic distortions that they have created with their disinformation.

Our society is
experiencing increasing
economic distress

Business and economics may bore many readers, but please
pay close attention here, because this is a key driving factor
behind our current crisis. The economic charts that I will
show you in this section reveal that America's underlying
economic situation has seriously deteriorated for severaldecades. This should set off alarm
bells in ones mind for many reasons:

First, to create a sense of historical context,
in the 19th century American per capita wealth steadily increased,
despite some set-backs related to the War of 1812, War Between
the States, and some business recessions. The dollar bought
50% more in 1913 than a hundred years before. The size of
the American middle class steadily grew.

Generally speaking, the men who ran American industry and
national media in that era cared
about America and American workers. The results showed in
economic performance. Obviously, America's industrial and
media leaders knew something about how to be productive. They
cared about maintaining America's overwhelmingly Northern
European demographic composition and values. They had the
will and self-discipline to continually reinvest in America.
No one who reads a work such as My
Life and Work by Henry Ford (carried by
America First Books) is likely to dispute this.

The obvious questions one might ask after viewing the economic
graphs in this section is why America's leaders have allowed
economic performance to steadily deteriorate — not for
just five years or ten years — but for several
decades. Is it possible that America has been
run for at least several decades by people who do
not care about America and American workers?
Who do not care about being genuinely
productive? Who are secretly glad about 9-11 and all the problems
involved in the so-called "War on Terror," because
they themselves are incapable of getting America out of the
mess that they have painted this
country into? Is is possible that they need scapegoats before
they pack their bags and try to hop to another country after
America eventually implodes into a hyperinflationary depression
or some other economic catastrophe?

What happened to Americans tending
to their own business?

President Calvin
Coolidge once said during his term in the mid 1920's:
"After all, the chief business of the American people
is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing,
buying, selling, investing, and prospering in the world."

American wealth and power has always been
one of its greatest trump cards. As one example, in the late
1800's Andrew Carnegie wrote Triumphant Democracy
and traveled to England to lecture its leaders on the enlightened
wonders of America.

Not all Englishmen agreed with Carnegie that America was necessarily so wonderfully democratic. For example Lord
John Acton, a leading British classical liberal historian
of the 19th century, wrote a letter to General Robert
E. Lee following the Union victory. He called the destruction
of States Rights a terrible tragedy for the cause of liberty.
He felt the consequences were worse than if Britain had lost
to Napoleon. He believed that Thomas Jefferson was right, namely that when the states lose their ability to stand up to the Federal Government, power increasingly gravitates to the center where it becomes tyranny.

Despite these kinds of reservations, British
leaders listened politely to Carnegie. America was an up and
coming global industrial power already producing nearly three
times as much as Britain.

Fast forward to the present, where America
has lost over 60% of its manufacturing to foreigners in the
last three decades. Much of its debt is now held by Asians.
Credit card debt grows as the job base continues to shrink.

We hear today about "Peak Oil."
We hear about increasing "resource scarcity" as
China and other foreign economies continue enormous growth.

But the more critical question involves why
America appears to be losing its ability to successfully innovate
and adapt to these growing dangers inside its own borders
with the success that it once experienced in the 19th century.

The following graphs taken from the Grandfather
Economic Report give us a better sense about America's
declining ability to handle economic problems.

....

According to In Praise of Hard Industries
by Eumonn Fingleton, the manufacturing sector typically comprises
about a third of a healthy economy. It is the only sector that
is infinitely scalable in productivity due to the continuing
automation revolution. In fact, as I point out in my ebook "I,
Robot Entrepreneur," we have barely glimpsed the incredible
potential for accelerating productivity growth from the mobile
robotics revolution.

A country needs to keep manufacturing infrastructure within
its own borders so that its workers and entrepreneurs retain
hands-on access to continually tinker with and improve the machines
that make tradable goods. In the long run, a society must produce
tradable goods of increasing quality and ever lower prices to
the consumer — and earn a profit at the same time —
in order to survive economically. In addition, studies show
that manufacturing infrastructure supports service jobs in the
rest of the economy rather than the other way around. Finally,
manufacturing infrastructure is not a zero sum game, where the
rise of infrastructure overseas requires a corresponding decrease
in infrastructure in America. Instead, all technically competent
countries can maintain a substantial manufacturing base and
enjoy steady growth at the same time.

The aforementioned ideas have been known ever since the inception
of the industrial revolution and have been proven over and over
again. Despite all of this, America has forfeited 60% of its
manufacturing infrastructure in the last few decades. American
service jobs have turned into a vicious game of keeping up appearances
as the real substance of manufacturing infrastructure has been
pulled out from under this country. Increasingly, America's
overall business tone has shifted towards accounting fraud and
financial speculation. Most large American corporations now
heavily indebted, with capital structures resembling hedge funds.
Americans are becoming increasingly vulnerable to foreigners
who can sink the dollar by offloading their massive dollar reserves
from America's chronic balance of trade deficits.

One might say, "Let the free market sort it all out."
Unfortunately our markets are not that free. In fact, they are
highly manipulated. All of them, including not only the gold
and silver markets, but also NASDAQ and the NYSE. As one example,
I would refer you to the paper by the well-respected Canadian
fund manager John Embry titled: "Move
Over Adam Smith: The Visible Hand of Uncle Sam."

I also wrote an article about Fed intervention
wizardry posted at various investment-related web sites
back in July 2003. Among other things, unregulated derivatives,
which billionaire investor Warren Buffett has referred to as
"Weapons of Mass Financial Destruction" have swollen
to somewhere over twenty times the size of America's GDP.

Free markets and the free enterprise system are a wonderful
thing when run by honest and responsible people. But that is
not what we have here in America today.

....

Americans are taking
on ever more debt in order to generate national income gains.
This is the exact opposite trend compared to the steady gains
Americans achieved in the 1800's with limited government, a large
private sector, and values which focused on thrift and industry.
America is increasingly becoming a casino-like "manana"
society. In addition, the quality and efficiency of our increasingly
multiracial and multicultural schools has deteriorated, and America
now places near last in international math and science high school
competitions.

The "punchline question" to all this is what is going
to happen fifteen to twenty years from now, if some foreign country
develops the capability to produce a million robots a year with
human-level intelligence, and these robots in turn have the capability
to simultaneously produce millions of their own kind, and we have
nothing to compare? (For a discussion of expected trends within
the mobile robot revolution, please see my six part series "I,
Robot Entrepreneur.")

After you ask yourself this question, then start asking yourself
what kinds of social and economic policies are necessary to make
sure that America retains leadership in advanced robotic technology
and manufacturing prowess, as I do in Part
Five of that series. Sadly, most of these policies, which
require a high level altruistic self-reinvestment on a social
level and manufacturing reinvestment on a national economic level,
are nearly the opposite
of the current policies of the Bush administration.

Is
the U.S. Government Protecting or
Threatening Our Rights?

...

"Hi!
We're the U.S. Government.
We are here to help you!"

Left:
Rather than allow Texas police handle Branch Davidian dissidents
in a common sense, local Texas way, the ATF and FBI stormed in
with U.S. military vehicles and succeeded in burning 74 men, women,
and children alive in 1993.

Right:
U.S. Government officials sanction torture and sadistic humiliation
at Abu Ghraib following the 2003 invasion to allegedly help "bring
democracy to Iraq." According to numerous reports, Israeli
advisors coached Americans on brutal Israeli interrogation methods
and ways to turn Iraq into another West Bank, and Americans all
too eagerly listened. Adding to the unnecessary antagonism, Americans
routinely use massive troop attacks and air strikes in situations
that would ordinarily require only a few fluent interpreters and
some skillful local police. Adding another surreal twist, our
spendthrift government has built four gigantic, obviously "permanent"
super bases complete with Burger Kings, first-run movie theaters,
and swimming pools in a land where the overall population has
turned against us and hardly a convoy can make it from Kuwait
to Baghdad without taking small arms fire.

Articles about prisoners held at Guantanamo without
evidence along with the Abu
Ghraib files and torture
photographs, should raise questions about why American officials
feel that they need to descend into barbarism, when Americans
in earlier periods in American history were able to endure extreme
stresses and maintain their republican idealism.

Five hours after the first two towers collapsed, World
Trade Center leasehold owner Larry Silverstein gave orders
to "pull" World Trade Center Tower 7, which
came down with internally placed explosives. This and
literally hundreds of other glaring anomalies
surround the 9-11 tragedy, to include the arrest by the
FBI of a group of five
dancing Israelis caught rejoicing as they filmed the
collapse of the two main towers. We are also confronted
with evidence that the World Trade Towers suffered from
a galvanic
corrosion problem that had degraded them beyond repair,
and presented its owners with a cost-prohibitive dismantlement
project in the not too distant future. However, owner
"Lucky Larry" Silverstein was saved that trouble
when the Towers made
him billions in insurance proceeds as a consequence
of their strange collapse.

Speaking of anomalies, the administration has still failed
to justify its Iraq invasion by finding any weapons of
mass destruction. Nor has it shown any Iraqi links to
9-11 (watch the following
video where President Bush admits Iraq had nothing
to do with 9-11. See also "pack
of lies" video, or for some comedy laughs about
Bush's "real handler," watch this German
video).

Lastly, if the Iraq intervention is all really about
securing supplies of cheap oil under a Peak Oil scenario,
please recollect that the price of oil dropped to around
$10.25 a barrel — a 50 year inflation-adjusted low
— in 1998 when America pursued a relatively even-handed
policy in the Middle East and did not invade anybody.
How does spending over a trillion dollars in total long
term costs to occupy Iraq, to include incurring staggering
diplomatic costs around the world, not to mention experiencing
many-fold oil price spikes, make us better off than the
peacetime scenario that existed in 1998 when OPEC members
were cutting each other's throats to sell us oil as cheaply
as possible?

Not
OK, Oklahoma

Similarly, the U.S. Government has failed to
explain explosives found inside the Murrah Government building
in Oklahoma City after the 1995 bombing (please see 4 min online video "Oklahoma City Bombing: Startling Evidence Proves Cover Up"), or the fact that the
ANFO bomb carried inside Timothy McVeigh's truck (parked away
from the Murrah building) held insufficient explosive power to
shear away over a third of the building.

William Jasper's New American
article "Proof
of Bombs and Cover-Up" cites the report by Brigadier
General Benton K. Partin (USAF, Retired). According to this explosives
expert. "Using the official estimate of 4,800 pounds of ANFO
would yield a maximum pressure of explosion of about one-half
million pounds per square inch at detonation. But by the time
the blast wave traveled through the air to the nearest of the
building’s columns, it would have dropped off to about 375
pounds of pressure per square inch, and by the time it reached
the nearest column in the second row of columns it would have
been down to 27 to 38 psi. The compressive yield strength of concrete
is around 3,500 pounds per square inch, far above anything exerted
by the truck bomb blast on the building’s structure."

Unfortunately the inability of the public to hold the government
accountable for its lies
and omissions has only egged it on to even greater outrages.

THE DAMNEDAmerican style

Contrary to the official government story, there is overwhelming
evidence that something smaller and more weaponized than a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon on 9-11. Sample sources include the outstanding web site pentagonresearch.com, the documentary Loose Change, and the book Synthetic Terror: Made in the
USA by Webster Tarpley.

How could a Boeing 757 punch through three rows
of buildings and make a nice round exit
hole? Look at the aerial
photo of three rings of the Pentagon that got penetrated.
Those are big, reinforced buildings. Normally the fusilage of
a 757 will crumple like a Volkswagon in a head-on collision. Looks
more like a uranium penetrator to me! Also, pentagonresearch.com
claims that the FBI is hiding
85 videos. Why? The only video that has been released shows
a microsecond flash of something indistinguishable that zooms
into the Pentagon before we see a big explosion.

Col Donn de Grand Pre, author of The Rattler's Revenge
and the Viper's Venom, held a conference
of pilots that was reported
in 2003. The conference determined that the planes which struck
the world trade center towers must have been remotely piloted
to perform with their level of precision.

According to other sources, American Air Force pilots were not
scrambled to intercept airlines outside their normal flight patterns
according to normal procedures. Quite a few other routine defense
procedures were also mysteriously breached that day. Lastly, it
appears that the explosion took out financial accountants and
files in the Pentagon pertaining to the investigation of 2.3 trillion dollars
missing in a Pentagon audit under the watch of Zionist Pentagon
Comptroller Dov Zakheim. Bill Christison, a former senior CIA
official, thinks the attack was motivated as a
cover-up of this scandal.

All the evidence points toward an inside job, suggesting that
some rogue element of the CIA or U.S. military, probably in league
with a foreign power such as Israel, attacked the command center
of the U.S. military to justify war for Israel and oil in the
Middle East. In other words, American defense assets were probably
used to attack a major American defense establishment. Col Donn de Grand Pre has called it a Neo-con coup de etat, and I agree with him.

In stepping back to weigh the ultimate meaning
of all this, I cannot help but think of the darkly surrealistic
filmThe
Damned (1969) by Italian director Lucino Visconti.

Visconti spared almost no decadent motif (real or imagined) to
try to demonize 1930's German society. He not only seized upon
such themes as male transvestitism and homosexuality (which, incidentally,
the Clinton Administration tried to introduce into the U.S. military
in the early 1990's), but he also dramatized a scene taken from
the famous "Night
of the Long Knives" where Hitler purged leaders of his
S.A. with his S.S. Obviously healthy classical liberal societies
do not see death feuds within their own military establishments.

However, whereas Visconti's historically inaccurate S.S. does
it's dirty work with Schmeissers
(that did not yet exist in 1934), apparently real life rogue elements
of our military and/or CIA and their Israeli puppet masters like to do
it with remotely piloted aircraft. Furthermore, we have strong
evidence from Final Judgment's analysis
of the JFK assassination (described again later) that America's
answer to Lucino Visconti has also taken place at least once before
with the murder of a U.S. President in broad daylight.

Nazi rot and Fed rot: What's
the difference? In Lucino Visconti's film
The
Damned, S.A. men spray pictures of political
enemies with submachine gun fire, only to get sprayed themselves
the following early morning in an S.S. surprise attack. There
is now strong evidence that a rogue element of the U.S. military
or CIA attacked Pentagon officials. Was it not already enough
that the U.S. military had suffered tremendous self-inflicted
damage from aerosolized depleted uranium during the first Gulf
War? (covered later).

Defending
indispensable
First Amendment rights?

If the U.S.
Government ever succeeds in taking away all our rights to freedom
of speech, what have we got left? Please see Rev Ted Pike's web site truthtellers.org for updates on the latest threats winding through Congress. A so-called "anti-hate" bill coming up in Jan 2007 with the new Democratic majority Congress looks like a very serious threat to free speech, as I will explain again later.

Consider some highly reputable individuals (certainly not the "Arab terrorist" stereotype, by any means) who have already arrested and even incarcerated.

David Irving (above left),
the internationally renown British historian who has written over
30 books, left his Florida home to give a lecture in Austria in
November 2005. Austria arrested
and sentenced Irving to three years in jail for "illegal
speech" that he made sixteen years earlier regarding
his historical interpretation of events surrounding German internment
of Jews in concentration camps during World War II. After thirteen months in jail, David Irving was finally released in December 2006.

(Above right) The U.S. Government also acquiesced to the deportation of Ernst Zundel (pictured
in the orange prison jump suit), first from his home with his
U.S. citizen wife in Tennessee to Canada, and then secondly from
Canada to imprisonment and trial in Germany. He has also questioned interpretations of historical
events that took place over 60 years ago in German camps. On 15 Feb 2007 BBC reported that he was "accused of using `pseudo-scientific' methods to try to rewrite the accepted history of the Nazi Holocaust in 14 pieces of written work and internet publications" and sentenced to five years in jail. BBC also reported that "Germany hopes to make Holocaust denial a crime across the EU as part of a package of laws it wants to introduce during its presidency of the bloc."

Another
dissident, Germar Rudolf,
was also been deported from America for similar thought crimes
and now languishes in solitary confinement in a German prison.

In April
2006, police arrested and handcuffed
the patriotic activist Pedro Varella in Spain and confiscated
5,000 of his politically-oriented books. (pictured in the clipping
above). As usual, when the New World Order crowd cannot win on
facts and logic, they have to send in the goons.

Britain is definitely not as free as America,
but still a tad freer than Germany, Austria, and Spain by a recent
jury vote. Nick Griffin, chairman of the British National Party,
is pictured above in a press conference just before he went on
trial in late January 2006 on two charges of inciting racial hatred
for making a speech in which he linked Muslim immigrants in Britain
to violence. His codefendant Mark Collett faced four counts. Fortunately
the jury found them not
guilty. If convicted, both defendants could have spent many
years in jail.

Dr. Paul
Craig Roberts and Congressman Ron
Paul have written extensively about the curtailment of American
civil liberties under the so-called Patriot
Act. According to Dr. Roberts, America now has more prisoners
per capita than any other country in the world. Despite all this,
thank God for the Bill of Rights or the level of outrages in America
would be a quantum level worse, as they already are in Germany,
Spain, and Canada.Harvard in the cross hairs

The U.S. national interest should be the primary object of American foreign
policy. For the past several decades, however, and especially since the Six Day
War in 1967, the centerpiece of U.S. Middle East policy has been its relationship
with Israel. The combination of unwavering U.S. support for Israel and the
related effort to spread democracy throughout the region has inflamed Arab and
Islamic opinion and jeopardized U.S. security.

This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the United
States been willing to set aside its own security in order to advance the interests
of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries is
based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives. As we
show below, however, neither of those explanations can account for the
remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States
provides to Israel.

Instead, the overall thrust of U.S. policy in the region is due almost entirely to
U.S. domestic politics, and especially to the activities of the “Israel Lobby.” Other
special interest groups have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions
they favored, but no lobby has managed to divert U.S. foreign policy as far from
what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while
simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are
essentially identical.

The paper by Dr. Walt and Dr. Mersheimer describes
heavy-handed Israel Lobby tactics in such sections as "Think
Tanks That Think One Way," "A Strategic Liability,"
"A Dwindling Moral Case," "The Great Silencer,"
"The Tail Wagging the Dog," "Demonizing the Palestinians,"
and "Dreams of Regional Transformation."

On page 22 in "Policing Academia" they comment:

...The Lobby also monitors what professors
write and teach. In September 2002, for example, Martin Kramer
and Daniel Pipes, two passionately pro-Israel neo-conservatives,
establishing a web site (Campus Watch) that posted dossiers
on suspect academics and encouraged students to report comments
or behavior that might be considered hostile to Israel. This
transparent attempt to blacklist and intimidate scholars prompted
a harsh reaction and Pipes and Kramer later removed the dossiers,
but the web site still invites students to report alleged anti-Israel
behavior at U.S. colleges.

In the specific case of the Mearsheimer-Walt
paper, prominent pro-Israel Americans have been quick off the
mark to limit the damage caused to Israel's interests caused
by the paper's candor and truthfulness. From Marvin Kalb to
David Gergen to Max Boot to Alan Dershowitz, these folks have
brazenly defied reality by insisting there is no "Israeli
Lobby" and that Mearsheimer and Walt are dead wrong, poor
scholars, paranoid conspiracy peddlers, or reborn Elders of
Zion. Eliot Cohen's essay in the Washington Post epitomizes
the Israel-Firsters' goal of defaming Mearsheimer and Walt to
convince the citizenry that they are crazy and ranting anti-Semites.

But hey — Mearsheimer and Walt have not
been handcuffed and thrown in jail, so we are still ahead of Canada,
Spain, Britain, and Germany. But before you start feeling too
lucky, just remember that if more Americans do not start getting
more active about defending their rights, they have the same fate
in store as less fortunate Europeans. The Cato Institute has archived
an important report "The Constitutional Record of George
W. Bush" (see executive
summary or PDF
file) by Gene Healy and Timothy Lynch that draws the following
conclusions:

Unfortunately, far from defending
the Constitution, President Bush has repeatedly sought to strip
out the limits the document places on federal power. In its
official legal briefs and public actions, the Bush administration
has advanced a view of federal power that is astonishingly broad,
a view that includes

A
federal government empowered to regulate core political speech—and
restrict it greatly when it counts the most: in the days before
a federal election;

A president who cannot be restrained, through validly enacted
statutes, from pursuing any tactic he believes to be effective
in the war on terror;

A president who has the inherent constitutional authority
to designate American citizens suspected of terrorist activity
as "enemy combatants," strip them of any constitutional
protection, and lock them up without charges for the duration
of the war on terror— in other words, perhaps forever;
and

A federal government with the power to supervise virtually
every aspect of American life, from kindergarten, to marriage,
to the grave.

President Bush's constitutional vision is, in short,
sharply at odds with the text, history, and structure of our
Constitution, which authorizes a government of limited powers.

To show that it really means business about Orwellian monitoring
of private citizens, the Bush Administration got the Senate to
ratify a scary program called "Real
ID."

Steve McNallen provided an interesting perspective on all of this
in the June 14th edition of one of his Asatru Folk Assembly publications.
Mr. McNallen is
the the indigenous Indo-European religious activist who gained
national fame in his efforts to help scientists gain
custody of the Kennewick
Man bones rather than let Indians bury them forever. Mr. McNallen
explains:

It's called "Real ID." With
no debate and with very little dissent, the United States
Senate passed a law mandating what amounts to a national identification
card for every citizen. This will be accomplished using the
driver's licenses issued by each state. The state will collect
your personal information and enter it into a database which
will then be networked with the databases of all the other
states, creating what is essentially one vast, national pool
of information. This system, according to the legislation,
must be established by each of the states not later than May,
2008.

Under the Real ID act, citizens of "the
land of the free, and the home of the brave" will have
to use this card to drive an automobile, get a job, open a
bank account, enter a federal building, collect social security
payments or take advantage of almost any government service,
board a plane…or buy a gun.

What information will be on the card?
There are the usual items — your name, age, sex, identification
number, and physical address (not a post office box). A digital
photograph is required, as well. The Department of Homeland
Security has the right to unilaterally add anything else it
feels is necessary, ranging from fingerprints or other biometric
identifiers to radio frequency identification (RFID) chips.
Homeland Security, by the way, is on record as favoring RFID
tags; these can serve as tracking devices.

How about firearm ownership? Identification
is needed to purchase a gun. No Real ID, no purchase! Furthermore,
bills are introduced almost every year in the California legislature
to require driver's licenses to buy ammunition. So far, it
has failed, but if it ever passes, anyone not carrying the
right identification will not be able to buy bullets.

All of this is bad enough. But there
is more: Marketers are already salivating over the possibilities
opened by Real ID. Consider this quote from David Raab, President
of Client X Client, a consulting and software firm —

"Companies will adopt the national
ID as a convenient, reliable customer identifier. This will
coincidentally make their data more salable because it will
be easier to link with customer information from other sources.
The value of such ID-enhanced data will in fact be high enough
to justify offering incentives to consumers to provide it
where using the national ID is not mandatory. This value will
also encourage companies to design systems so customer data
is easy to extract. The legal obligation to respond to any
government requests will further encourage such designs….Continuous
surveillance is already a fact of life and will only expand.
Commercial access to surveillance data will soon follow."

Christian groups have led the fight
against Real ID, seeing it as the "mark of the beast"
described in Revelation. Unfortunately, the bill has already
passed and is even now being implemented across the country.
There is, however, still the possibility that it can be repealed.
One effort, at http://www.nonationalid.com,
asks visitors to take a pledge stating they will not vote
for any politician who will not support the repeal of the
Real ID Act. (I signed it.)

I am glad to see any group, whatever
its religious belief, fighting tyranny but I think it is a
mistake to let the public think that only Christians care
about these issues. As the noose tightens, Asatruar need to
be able to attract to us men and women who love freedom and
who are ready to take a stand in its defense.

We must remember that the very concept
of freedom exists in Western civilization because of our ancestors.
Free will and personal responsibility are implicit in the
Germanic concept of orlog, in which people have a role in
"making their own fate." Anglo-Saxon Common Law
reflects these same values. Similarly, political freedom was
important enough to our ancestors that they structured their
tribes into components comparable to the executive, judicial,
and legislative branches of government enshrined in the United
States Constitution. (And the Constitution may have its faults…but
it's a darned sight better than what we have now!)

We're all about freedom. Asatruar need
to be aware of threats to this part of our heritage, and we
need to be a beacon to others. And above all, we need to take
a stand for liberty whenever it is endangered by runaway government
or by the intrusive greed of private industry.

As another Orwellian iniative, in September 2006 the Bush Administration
pushed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 through both houses
of Congress. Justin Raimondo observed
that its definition of an "unlawful combatant" is particularly
troubling: :

It doesn't say "alien" or "terrorist,"
although it specifically includes members of the Taliban and
al-Qaeda. It says "person" – any person, including
American citizens. Bruce Ackerman, professor of law at Yale
and author of Before the Next Attack: Preserving
Civil Liberties in an Age of Terrorism, puts
it:

"Buried in the complex Senate compromise on detainee treatment
is a real shocker, reaching far beyond the legal struggles about
foreign terrorist suspects in the Guantanamo Bay fortress. The
compromise legislation, which is racing toward the White House,
authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy
combatants, even if they have never left the United States.
And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial
by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the
Bill of Rights."

Congress has now granted the president the powers of a dictator.
The rest of the story of our slide into absolutism is merely
a matter of filling in the details.

The additional punch line behind all of this is that when a
government — and the special interests who control it behind
the scenes — get so paranoid and corrupt that they have
to violate every last nook and cranny of our privacy, then what
we have is a society that is doomed to ultimately collapse much
like the old Soviet Union. It has become too secretive, fearful,
invasive, and bureaucratic to have the adaptability and innovativeness
that characterizes a leading edge industrial economy. It will
alienate the kinds of free-thinking, honest people it needs most
for productive leadership. Many of them will either leave the
country or engage in various forms of passive or active resistance.

If Federal supremacists ever succeed in their campaign to get
the public to accept the National ID as a way of life, then you
better believe that special interests will try to use personal
data as leverage to monitor and bully people who do not share
their views on such issues as abortion, prayer, taxes, Internet
censorship, massive illegal Third World immigration, accepting
political correctness interpretations of history taught to our
school children, and fighting overseas wars for Israel.

The worst damage the Orwellian bureaucrats can do to you is often
subtle and sneaky and does not leave finger prints. Bureaucratic
compliance officers can "busy you" and make you die
the death of a thousand little knife cuts. They start wasting
your time making you cross every "t" and dot every "i"
of their mountains of regulations, which are usually selectively
enforced to favor their political allies. By running you through
spurious investigations, while forcing you to expend considerable
time preparing your defense, they can damage your reputation through
"guilt by association" even though you have done nothing
wrong. They can "busy" you so much that it becomes very
hard to run a competitive small business or pay the bills to raise
a family. Meanwhile, Federal supremacists collect their steady
government paychecks. They even get internal brownie points for
being "tough" about enforcing "regulations,"
even if their efforts are unfairly applied and are just plain
mean, stupid, and self-serving.

The fear of all of this alone intimidates many citizens from protesting
at a time when the need to exercise their Constitutional rights
is most urgent. In a corrupt
police state, rules and regulations become snares to trap
political adversaries, not guidelines for honest citizens. The
ancient Roman writer Tacitus summed it up well when he said, "When
the state is most corrupt, then laws are most multiplied."
It happened within the rotting Roman Empire, and it is happening
again today within the American Establishment's New World Order.

In considering all of this, we also need to keep in mind the extreme
likelihood that the official government story behind 9-11 and
hence the "necessity" for the big Homeland Security
apparatus are all based upon massive fraud to begin with.

The Reverend Ted Pike is a leading activist in America to monitor the never-ending efforts by the ADL and other sinister organizations to censor the Internet. America First Books has created a special section for his articles and special alerts. Currently, Rev Pike is encouraging citizens to aggressively contact their Congressmen and raise consciousness among their fellow citizens to prevent Congress from approving some very ominious "hate crime" legislation that has been submitted in 2007. If this evil legislation goes through, it could mean the same end of free speech in America, just like what we have already seen in Canada and many European countries. Conversely, if we can keep a free Internet and maintain our freedoms, we can keep the bad guys desperate.

Waging Massive
Dirty Nuclear War
in the Middle East

More than 200 participants
represented 21 nations from five continents at the World Depleted
Uranium Weapons Conference held 16-19 October 2003. (See some
sample gruesome photos here,
here,
and here if you can
stomach it. Please also note the LIFE
Magazine photo essay "The
Tiny Victims of Desert Storm").

"If they had killed us once, it
would not be so bad. But what the Americans have brought upon
us is not only depriving us but our future generations of our
basic god given human right, the right to live. They will be killing
us for generations to come." (An Afghan
Victim of US-UK bombing)

“Military men are just dumb
stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” -
Henry Kissinger, quoted
in “Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed
Its Own POW’s in Vietnam”

Civilized concern for its own military and the innocent?
The US expended about 300 tons of Depleted Uranium
(DU) on Iraq in 1991, and five times as much beginning in 2003
with Gulf War II. Researchers have discovered that radioactivity
levels from destroyed Iraqi tanks are 2,500 times higher than
normal. (Tests by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer have found 1,500
times higher levels). The rate of birth defects in Basra in southern
Iraq increased over sevenfold
since the first Gulf War, and Down's Syndrome has increased over
fivefold. Dr.
Marion Fulk, former scientist with the Livermore, CA National
Lab, said that between 31% to 100% of the warhead mass of DU gets
"aerosolized"
upon impact, depending upon the size of the warhead. Aerosolized
sub-micron particles then get breathed by soldiers and civilians
alike.

Dr. Alexandra C. Miller released a report for
the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda,
MA indicating that DU's chemical instability causes one million
times as much genetic damage as would be expected from the radiation
effect alone. Unlike larger radioactive sources, the sub micron-sized
DU particles pass through skin, lungs, and stomach into the blood
stream, spread throughout the body and through the blood-brain
barrier, and penetrate inside the nuclei of cells. Dr. Katsuma
Yagasaki notes that the particles are not only inherently
carcinogenic and radioactive, but also have a terrible 4.5 billion
year half-life persistency. According to Dr. Chris
Busby, unlike larger uranium particles, sub-micron DU absorbs
"between 400 and 1200 times more radiation from natural background
than the equivalent volume of tissue (depending on the photon
energy). The energy borrowed is re-emitted as short range photoelectrons
which have high ionizing [DNA-destructive] power." In other
words, the particles act as ultra-magnitude step-up transformers
that convert natural radiation into harmful radiation once inside
cells of the human body, in addition to emitting their own radiation
virtually forever. Researchers
claim that it also damages cells as a heavy metal independently
of its radioactive properties.

More than 500,000 "Gulf War era" veterans
are currently receiving disability compensation for a variety
of symptoms linked to "Gulf War Syndrome" that many
experts
trace to DU. According to one source, "In a group of
251 soldiers from a study group in Mississippi who had all had
normal babies before the Gulf War, 67 percent of their post-war
babies were born with severe birth defects."

From a Darwinian viewpoint, passing on uncorrupted genes to future
generations is a vital requirement of a higher evolutionary process.
The War Between the States terminated over 640,000 gene carriers.
Quite a few of the dead did not have any children. It is quite
possible that America's involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts
starting with Gulf War I will wind up inflicting more genetic
damage on America — in a silent and insidious way —
than the bloodiest war in American history.

Cancer rates are already going
up all over the world, as microscopic particles of depleted
uranium are being carried by the winds and oceans everywhere on
the planet. According
to Dr. Doug Rokke, Israelis used American-supplied DU in Lebanon
in their 2006 invasion. Thanks

"Alien"
Is On
the Loose As Well

"Men fight because there is
nothing more horrible than cultural and national obliteration."

Becoming a minority is never fun. Throughout history, groups that
suffer steady population losses and become forcefully reduced
to a minority status typically complain of oppression and even
genocide. Certainly any population group that fails to resist
its own dispossession cannot possibly be a healthy one. Yet this
is exactly what is happening to the white population inside the
U.S., even though the reasons are psycho-political. They do not
even involve toxic military agents such as the previously mentioned
depleted uranium, although the end results a hundred years from
now may be very similar.

Mexican-American demonstrators

We are seeing "minority" (actually
now the "new majority" in border states such as California,
Arizona, and New Mexico as well as in America's ten largest cities)
relations take a new turn where militant nonwhite and often illegal
immigrants proclaim that white Americans have no
right to secure borders. In fact, many of them claim that
white Americans should no longer enjoy ordinary citizenship rights
within their own U.S. states. Ominously, a growing minority of
demonstrators inside America hoist the Mexican flag over the U.S.
flag, espouse a breakaway nation, and even advocate booting whites
out of North American territory.

Just remember if you are white and have to eventually retreat
to a place like Britain, France, Poland, Scandinavia, or Germany
(if they will take you ahead of nonwhite immigrants), do not try
to speak too loudly about what happened to you in America so that
you do not wind up standing before a jury like Nick Griffin or
get thrown in jail like David Irving.

The arrogant and nasty people who are trying to run our lives
and ruin our sense of indigenous identity and culture don't like
it when we rattle our chains too loudly.

..........

Quite a few Americans
still react to the graphs depicted above with pride. To them it
shows America's progress in achieving greater "diversity."

We
(white Americans) are the only race that officially and deliberately
ignore the call of racial kinship. No other race welcomes strangers
into its homelands and then grants them racial preferences over
the children of natives. No other race subsidizes racially alien
under classes and then blames itself for the fecklessness, incompetence
and violence of these under classes. No other race measures
virtue by how many advantages it can offer to people as biologically
unlike itself as possible, or by how loudly and persistently
it can heap scorn on its own history, traditions, and ancestors.
Members of no other race routinely adopt children of other races.

"The
Anatomy of Ethnic Conflict" by Thomas Jackson in the
June 2002 American Renaissance showed
a chart created by Professor Tatu Vanhanen at the University of
Helsinki, Finland, that most people intuitively understand:

This chart shows an interesting
relationship. As societies become increasingly diverse on a racial
and ethnic level, they tend to become increasingly unstable and
strife-ridden.

If white Americans want to be able to provide
humanitarian aid to other peoples around the world, and project
the image of a morally upright and stable society, how will it
help them to become a strife torn, economically diminished minority
in what was once the prosperous land of their forefathers? Given
these concerns, why do national media keep pushing the "benefits"
of unlimited growth and ever more racial "diversity"?

Stuck on
stupidity, neurosis, cowardice,
or what?

Perhaps you have heard the old saying, "If you want to know
who holds ultimate
power in a country, find out who everyone is afraid to criticize?"

Actually the outrages I discuss below are both a cause and an
effect, both the symptoms and part of an underlying disease. Certainly
a breakdown in trust throughout American society is an important
underlying theme, or else America could produce leaders who prevent
rather than thrive on corruption. And certainly grotesque breaches
in trust go back to at least the War of Southern Independence, when
the U.S. Government violated any sense of loyalty to the spirit
of checks and balances in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, Constitution, and Articles
of Confederation by brutally crushing any last vestige of truly effective States' Rights. It also
obscenely violated any spirit of loyalty to America's founding
Anglo-Saxon racial and common law traditions by stripping white
Southerners of their rights and placing their legislatures in
the hands of uneducated blacks during the so-called Reconstruction
Era. (I will discuss these issues further in my history reconsidered
section, still under development).

All this having been said, what I am about to describe is a bell-weather
of the corruption of traditional American values. These kinds
of things could never keep happening in a healthy American society.

This
is not a barber shop quartet. Regarding the group
in the upper left, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz
ran the caption in March 2005: “President Katzav presented
three surviving members of the ‘Lavon affair’ with
certificates of appreciation at a Jerusalem ceremony Wednesday.”

Just one catch. The "appreciated" activities
were designed to destroy American property, with a high probability
of killing Americans as well.

Never heard of the Lavon
Affair? It was organized by former Israeli Defense minister
Pinhas Lavon as a false flag operation, in which Israeli agents
disguised as Egyptians attacked American and British facilities
in Cairo in 1954 in an effort to sour U.S.-Egyptian relations.
Israel apologized for the treachery,
but embarrassments continued. For example, Gen. Moshe Dayan, pictured
in the upper right photo speaking with Pinhas Lavon, was Defense
Minister when Israel deliberately attacked the U.S.S. Liberty
(pictured below). Former Prime Minister Golda Meir, in the lower
picture to the left of Lavon, authorized a Mossad hit team that
gunned down an innocent
Moroccan in July 1973 in Lillehammer, Norway, of all places.
According to former Mossad agent Victor Ostrowsky in By
Way of Deception: The Making of a Mossad Officer, it
is de rigueur for Israeli Prime Ministers to routinely sign off
on assassination lists. Then came the Jonathan
Pollard case, which entailed one of the greatest compromises
of American classified material in American history. Israel not
only stole major
secrets from America, but likely turned around and sold
them to the Soviet Union.

More recently, Larry Franklin was arrested by
the FBI in an AIPAC-related spy ring case. Furthermore, Israel
has received massive increases in aid during America's invasion
and occupation of Iraq, and uses American power to apply "reductionism"
against its enemies in the region.

Michael Collins Piper's book The
High Priests of War and the Harvard University report
by Dr. John Mearsheimer and Dr. Stephen Walt both document
the central role of the Israel lobby in dragging America into
its ongoing Middle Eastern wars.

Incidentally, America's Jewish elite has been
the primary leader of America's liberal minority coalition which
has promoted massive Third World immigration into this country.
The Jewish ADL
was a prime mover behind the Immigration Law change in 1965 that
opened the flood gates.

"Our crowd," which consists off Jewish-run
media, central banks, and investment banks, not only played a
key role in the socially re-engineering of America in the 20th
century, but also promoted massive financial re-engineering solutions
to America's economic problems as well. This stands in stark contrast
to the traditional focus upon quality product engineering and
manufacturing process development that characterized 19th century
WASP-run America. One can find more background on the cultural-racial
nature of this change in The
Dispossessed Majority by Wilmot Robertson.

Many Americans, myself included, think it would
be very nice if we could live in a simpler, more naive world in
which the Israelis are always the good guys. A world where Moshe
Dayan remains nothing less than a great hero, and where we feel
nothing but fondness for someone like Golda Meir. However, truth
be told, thinking that way gets tougher and tougher when Jewish/Israeli
policies compromise America's national security, undermine America's
moral leadership in the world, and quite frankly, hit us in our
genes as well.

Above: The U.S.S. Liberty when it finally
met up with another American ship the day after the deliberate
Israeli attempt to sink it and kill everyone on board.

In 1967 Israel flew numerous reconnaissance flights over the U.S.S.
Liberty while the ship was in international waters off Israel
in broad daylight. It was flying a large American flag. Israeli
fighters shot up the ship with rockets and blanketed it with napalm
in repeated strafing runs. Israeli torpedo boats closed in and
fired three torpedoes at the ship. Two missed, but one torpedo
put a big hole in the side of the ship and almost sank it. Israelis
also machine-gunned life rafts thrown overboard. Luckily, an improvised
S.O.S. signal sent out by the Liberty finally caused them to break
off the attack. Overall, the Israelis succeed in killing thirty
four Americans and wounding 174.

Dwight Porter, the former U.S. American Ambassador
to Lebanon, claims his office received intercepts of Israeli war
plane communications that prove the attack was deliberate. In
addition, in the original
story told by Major Seth Mintz to journalists Rowland Evans
and Robert Novak, Israeli Defense Force personnel in the war room
that ordered the attack knew
it was an American ship.

By some estimates, Israel has cost America over $4 trillion since
inception, to include not only direct aid, but also indirect costs
such as the oil shocks related to the Yom Kipper War in 1973.

We seem to have gone well beyond
the "neurotic New Yorker" stage.

It is fair to say that no other people on this
planet has ever been more generous towards both the Jewish people
and the state of Israel than Americans. When all that help boomerangs
into an attack on a U.S. ship on the high seas, it really does
begin to feel like some kind of dark, sinister Freudian psychoanalytical
phenomenon out of The Forbidden Planet.

Oh yes, there was another Id monster strike that I have not mentioned
yet, that still remains largely undisclosed to America's collective
conscious.

There were no doubt many motives behind the assassination,
however, one in particular sticks out. Israeli scientists were
working with Red Chinese scientists on a joint program to help
each other get the atomic bomb. John F. Kennedy opposed nuclear
weapon development for both countries and paid with his life.

This is just one more tragedy that added the
phrase "Magic Bullet," to "Fertilizer Super-Bomb,"
"Pancake Effect," "Plausible Denial," and
other strange terms of a sick, declining society.

American society is breaking down. Massive economic
and demographic forces are dramatically changing this country
forever. No amount of establishment spin-doctoring or attention
deflection over real, imagined, or contrived crises — either
at home or abroad — can stop powerful forces closing in
on us.

What can we do to help ourselves in our personal lives and on
a community level?

On a national level, what have Americans hidden
from themselves deep within their psyche? What strengths and virtues
have we neglected? What evils have we embraced? Are there whole
dimensions of reality that we have ignored to our peril? Could
there be a social equivalent to Freud's individualized "Id"
concept? (I think I have some answers. See my discussion in my
"Resolving
Opposing Ideologies" section).

There are many issues that we must explore, to
include many issues we feel like we do not want to explore, as
America gets pushed to the brink.

We have been lied to by our government and its
federally-funded schools. We have been lied to by controlled national
media. Time for some deeper and painfully truthful self-examination.

DOES AMERICA
STILL HAVE A "DESTINY?"

Heroic pioneer
archetypes played by James
Stewart and Carroll Baker find romance along
the Ohio River frontier in this publicity photo from Hollywood's
1962 classic How the West Was Won

Times
have really changed since MGM released its mega-budget epic How
The West Was Won in 1962. The winner of three Academy
Awards, and featuring an all-star cast, it quickly became the
third largest grossing picture in MGM history up until that time.

The movie used the literary technique of dramatizing the progress
of three generations of a pioneer family across 19th century America.
The concept for the movie started when Bing
Crosby perceived it in a 1959 Life Magazine
series about the winning of the West. He purchased the rights
and released
a record album with songs from that era.

The film culminated with aerial scenes of early 1960's freeways
and skyscrapers. The narrator, Spencer Tracy, commented that although
"They are all gone now" the sacrifices and vision of
American pioneers helped create a great nation.

Without question, this movie was consciously designed as a paean
to American Manifest
Destiny. It certainly left a subliminal suggestion that perhaps there
could be even better things ahead for what had been proudly hailed
as the land of the free and home of the brave.

One online film critic even went so far as to quip that How the West Was Won was "America's answer to Leni Riefenstahl." However, I take strong exception to this comparison.
All the events which have unfolded since the 1960's have clearly demonstrated that America's real answer to Riefenstahl by America's real ruling elite was not How The West Was Won, but the movie Exodus. Released only two years earlier, Exodus starred Paul Newman and greatly glorified and romanticized Zionism.

The analogy with Reifenstahl is much better with a movie like Exodus. According to former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky, Israel is essentially run top-down by his former spy organization. It is highly secretive, duplicitous, gangsterish and cutthroat in its operations. Israel is also very socialistic. The government controls most of the major industries as well as media. It continuously inflates the currency to support massive social welfare programs for Jews. The exclusively Jewish state also practices routine assassination, police state torture, and apartheid policies against Palestinians and other gentiles. This is ultimately done in the name of Jewish racial purity. These activitities make anything done by American Klansmen look triffling by comparison. In fact, the Zionist state is also very bellicose, forever stirring up wars in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Hence, this Jewish brand of national socialism is a much more fitting counterpart to all the evils commonly attributed to Hitler's authoritarian brand of national socialism that was glorified by Reifenstahl than anything to do with pioneer America. In contrast, our pioneer ancestors were very libertarian in their political values and put a high emphasis on truthfulness, individual responsibility, and personal honor.

Today we always hear
deceitful and bellicose
banter from our Israel-first neo-con leadership in Washington, D.C. and national media in the place of honest
analyses regarding America's real problems. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts felt
prompted to write his very disturbing June 12, 2006 article: "A
Final End to History? Bush's Armageddon Wish." Among
other things, he observed:

Nuking Iran is an essential part of the attack
plan. The US lacks the necessary conventional military force
to invade and occupy Iran, but the use of nuclear weapons against
Iran has a wider purpose. The neocons are determined not to
have any more embarrassments, such as the Iraqi insurgency.
By nuking Iran they intend to send a wider message that the
US will use every means at its disposal to ensure its hegemony.
The neocons believe that the use of nukes will convince Arabs
and the wider world that there is no recourse to accepting America's
will.

The neoconservatives could not care less about
public opinion. Neocons are contemptuous of the American people.
Leo Strauss taught neocons that it was their duty to deceive
the clueless American people in order to implement their agenda
of global domination. The neocons believe that they have a perfect
right, even the obligation, to manipulate the public through
propaganda and black ops in order to create acceptance and support
for their wars of aggression.

The neocons are the epitome of evil, and they have succumbed
to hubris. Like Hitler when he attacked the Soviet Union, neocons
believe that their manipulative skills and use of military power
will carry the day for their agenda. Hitler's hubris doomed
Germany to destruction. What price will America pay for neocon
hubris?

Is this what American history was all for? To
finally culminate in massive global radiation poisoning? For white
Americans to commit racial suicide as the country turns into a
bankrupt Third World slum? To waste all of our last treasure and
moral authority fighting for crony oil company concessions, Zionist
monopoly power, and discredited interpretations of dogmatic Jewish
fairy tales in the sands of the Middle East — while perfecting
a police state on home soil?

Or were we meant to ultimately carry the torch of Western science
and Western Civilization to the stars?

The articles "Resolving
Opposing Ideologies" and "History
Reinterpreted" along with many of our ebook offerings
will hopefully help you get a deeper sense regarding what is out
of balance in America today and how we got into our current mess.
We try to offer ideas about where we can start re-balancing to
begin to solve many of our problems.

Rather than parrot the propaganda of Jewish,
Federal, and New World Order supremacists, hopefully America First
Books can continue to uncover suppressed truths, address real
problems, and offer real inspiration.

This
provides an overview of false flag attacks around
the world up between 2005 and December 2009, and
the myriad ways in which a Zionist-government
partnership has been actively waging covert war
against the American public. The depth of high
level criminality may shock you. This series begins
with the disillusionment
of former U.S. Army intelligence officer Captain
Eric May, and then branches out into the author's
analysis of major social and political issues
that relate to false flag phenomena.

The
word is out. This man is very likely a complete
phony...a total imposter . . . an illegal
alien and thoroughly unconstitutional president
. . . and yet there has not yet been any

THE
WAR AGAINST WASPS

An
Act of War Against the "WASPiest of the WASPs."
The 7-22 Oslo bombing and Utoya Island shootings
were very likely another Mossad-CIA-MI6 false
flag attack, just like NYC 9/11, Madrid 3-11,
and London 7/7. This, along with Fukushima global
radiation depopulation, symbolizes total globalist
ruthlessness. It may also mark a turning point
when "dispossessed majorities" in America
and Europe decide they are tired of enduring stealth
attacks. Please see our Oslo-Utoya
open source intelligence / alternative media reconnaissance
series.

Iceland's
"Pots and Pans" Revolution just
might have been the turning point against parasitic
international banking cartels that have victimized
Russia, the UK, Ukraine, Iceland, most Third World
countries, and even what they derisively call
the "PIIG's" (Portugal, Ireland, Italy,
and Greece). Worse yet, the "Iceland experience"
provides a Rosetta Stone for evil forces poised
to strike America next. Please see our series

Man-Made Disasters

The
ongoing nuclear radiation catastrophe following
the 3-11-2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami
has many disturbing false flag characteristics
in common with the BP-Gulf crisis listed below.
Contrary to mainstream media reports, it may wind
up being more than a 100 to a 1,000 times
worse than Chernobyl -- and will likely
cause horrifying health problems for many Americans
as well as Japanese. Please link to our
continually updated pages:Fukushima
Catastrophe open source intelligence summary page.
This web page provides strong evidence that the
nuclear reactor melt-downs were ultimately caused
by deliberate sabotage by the Mossad-CIA Stuxnet
virus. (Please be patient. This web page is long

BP-Gulf Catastrophe As a False Flag Operation"
intelligence summary page (another lengthy "work

as Corexit

inland and endanger the health of tens of millions
of people. The Macondo Well site where
the Deepwater Horizon operated is still leaking...

"It
is now a widely-reported fact that under the Obama
administration, U.S. federal agents actively placed
over 30,000 fully-functional weapons into the hands
of Mexican drug gangs, then halted all surveillance
and tracking activities of where those weapons were
going. This
is not a conspiracy theory, nor a piece of fiction.
It is now an openly-admitted fact that this was
pulled off by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives, more commonly called "ATF")
under orders from Washington. The program was called
"Fast and Furious." Even
Reuters is now covering the news and reporting how
members of Congress are outraged to learn that this
happened'..."

SUMMARY
COMMENTS

Clearly
all the negative trends identified in "Snapshot
2007" are playing themselves out in a final,
reductio ad absurdem, crisis-meltdown stage. If
you have read my Mission of Conscience
series as well as the update web pages cited above,
chances are you will have a very good idea regarding
the extremely serious trouble America is in today.
Please stock up on uncontaminated food, stay out
of radioactive rain, and network with friends and
neighbors -- things will likely go from bad to worse.

In
many ways, history has gone full circle, and we
are forced to become like many pioneer communities
in the 19th century, forced to rely on our own local
resources for our sustenance and protection.

Trends
which break abusive government and corporate monopolies
are generally a good thing in the long run. The
main problem for Americans is that they are so entangled
with the old system that reasserting independence
is likely to be an extremely painful experience
for most individuals. In fact, the experience will
likely be beyond painful -- millions of
Americans will likely suffer tragic deaths in the
transition process.
